Sir, I support the Bill. Especially, I would like to draw the attention of the hon. Railway Minister towards the improvement of railway system in the North-Eastern Region. Sir, as you know, the North-Eastern Region is very remote area of this great country of ours. And, it has remained very much underdeveloped so far as railway system is concerned. It was 60 years ago when the Britishers had laid the single railway track in the entire North-Eastern Region. During this period, in the North-Eastern Region, particularly in the State of Assam, there has been no improvement in the railway track system. It is same as it was 60 years back during British rule. I agree that some more railway trains have been introduced. But the track system has not improved. That is what I want to highlight. If we see from Alipurdwar to Tinsukia, and I would like to point out that Tinsukia is the main commercial station and also the remote area just touching the extreme border of the North-Eastern Region. It is also going to touch Arunachal Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh is not having a railway station because of topographical situation. I am happy that the Ministry of Railways is trying to provide railway transport to Arunachal Pradesh also. There are many pending projects of the Railways in the North-Eastern Region, particularly extension of Railways from Jiribam to lmphal, and the railway system from Lumding to Badarpur. These projects have been pending since long time. Ever since I came to this House three years ago, I have been mentioning, time and again, about the poor railway system in North-Eastern Region. There is only one project which is suffering from so-called security point of view, that is, Badarpur- Lumding area and besides that, these pending projects in the North-Eastern region are not making any tangible progress for the reasons best known to the Ministry of Railways. These are not affected by any external reasons, for which the Railways Ministry cannot make Government [29 AUG., 2007] Bill 397 rapid progress. For example, we have been hearing since long, even before I came to this House three years back regarding construction of Bogibil Project. Of course, I am very happy to read in the print media that the Ministry of Railways, the Government of India, and the Prime Minister have taken interest to create a NorthEastern Railway Development Fund. If that is true, I am really grateful to the Government of India, and particularly to the Ministry of Railways. That Development Fund should be adequately equipped with financial resource so that every year, with the progress of work in the projects, the fund is released and the progress of the projects is really expedited. Earlier, the Bogibil Project was supposed to be completed by the year 2009. But, as on today, that is, 2007, we cannot see any tangible progress in the construction of the Bogibil Project. Sir, the people have come to know, particularly in the North-Eastern Region, that this Bogibil Project is very essential from strategic point of view. Even the Ministry of Defence will agree that from strategic reasons, the Bogibil Bridge over river Brahmaputra is very essential. It means that this project is very important not only for Assam and the North-East but also for the security of the country. It is that area where the Chinese aggression took place in 1962. So, from this point of view also, the Government has all the records that show as to why this project is very very important. But I have failed to understand as to why this bridge has not made substantial progress in the matter of construction of approach roads. Forget about the construction of bridge over the River Brahmaputra, even the approach road has not been completed. So, I request the hon. Railway Minister, Laluji, who is a very dynamic leader, to take some time out of his busy schedule and see as to why this Bogibil project is not making the desired progress. Secondly, Sir, there was always a demand that that there should be double-track railway line in the North-Eastern Region. Till today, there is single-track in the entire North-Eastern Region. Sir, you will agree with me that considering the change in situation, the economic development activities, the commercial activities and other kinds of activities that have taken place during these sixty years, the North-Eastern Region requires the double-track line of the railway system. Only then, the people of the North East including Assam will get better railway facilities both in the matter of transportation of passengers and carrying essential goods from the rest of the country to that part of the country and, people will get the supply of essential goods without paying the higher prices at the time of natural calamities in that region.
